In the SI system of units it is the Joule, which is the work done in moving 1 meter against a force of 1 Newton. 1 Watt = 1 Joule per second. You can also use the foot.pound or foot. pound force if you are working in feet and pounds. 1 ftlbf = 1.356 joule.

For thermal energy the SI unit is the calorie, equal to 4.2 joule, or you can use BTU, equal to 1.055 kilojoule
